She is safe, God bless you!” “Despite your fame, you remain humble. God bless you for helping that lady off the bridge.” “You are a hero.”
There are also comments on YouTube videos: “A truly kind celebrity. Great job, sir.” “Respect to Bon Jovi. Also, thank you to the production team for not turning this into a publicity stunt. They have professional video equipment but didn’t exploit it. I hope the woman can recover. Bon Jovi is an angel on Earth.” “Just one random act of kindness is all it takes. A person doesn’t need to be wealthy, famous, a celebrity, or a superstar. All a person needs to do is be kind, not just passing by…Well done, Jon, and the lady with you…respectable!”
According to People magazine, Bon Jovi was filming the music video for his song “People’s House” on the bridge at the time.

The foundation, through various programs like food initiatives, affordable housing projects, social services, and job training, aims to break the cycle of hunger, poverty, and homelessness. In February of this year, Bon Jovi was selected as the MusiCares Person of the Year by the Grammy Charity Foundation for his charitable work.
